While TelePsych services have been available for several years, it’s becoming more popular and also more urgent every day. Many insurance plans are rapidly expanding coverage to include TelePsych benefits.
TelePsych is when you have your regular mental or behavioral health appointment online via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing system instead of going in to the actual office.
At Commonwealth Psychology, we offer TeleHealth Online Virtual Visits for therapy, counseling, and psychiatric medication management and consultation.
If you think TelePsych may be right for you, you will need high speed internet service, a laptop, desktop, or tablet, and a quiet private space in your home to attend the virtual visits.
Contact us at (617) 259-1895 or fill out our online form to find out if TeleHealth is right for you.
